Third book for #ChristmasCrimeChallenge

Amelia and Emerson‘s now grown children take more of the center stage. Ramses‘ past as a secret agent comes back to haunt him and is it possible that the Master Criminal is still alive? Or is someone masquerading in his place? And lady journalist Margaret Minton returns to interfere and poke her nose in.

Lots of fun, romance and adventure and Emerson cursing. 😂

Back in Egypt with the Emersons in 1916 or so who are up to their usual tricks of solving crime and making trouble. I‘m not a huge fan of the Ramses/Nefret storyline - too much “romance” for me, but I can tolerate it because the rest is just fun.

bookandbedandtea It's been a while since I dipped into this series but I'm tempted now because I LOVE the Emersons, especially Amelia herself and Ramses. I never really warmed up to Nefret but I didn't find it affected my enjoyment of the books. 💗 2w
Ruthiella @bookandbedandtea I do love this series. It‘s about as close to romance as I am comfortable with. One of the things I love most about Amelia and Emerson is the steadfastness of their relationship…no will they or won‘t they - they just are. 2w
DGRachel Angsty Ramses is my least favorite Ramses. 2w

Ruthiella @DGRachel Me too! I‘m just not built for that kind of tension! 😂 2w
bookandbedandtea @Ruthiella Yes! I love that they encounter (and create) all kinds of drama but their relationship is never in question! Communication issues drive me nuts. 2w
bookandbedandtea @DGRachel Yes there are a couple books where he's pretty angsty and those are not my favorites. 2w
DGRachel @bookandbedandtea I made the mistake of binging the whole series in an audio reread and I was ready to throw my phone across the room during the teen/20s Ramses nonsense. 😂 2w
Ruthiella @DGRachel 🤣🤣🤣 I have spaced out reading them over years and it still grates! (edited) 2w

Nothing better than a day spent with the Emersons.

I‘m struggling to concentrate on anything new at the moment so I‘ve returned to an old favourite. I think I‘ve read 500+ pages in the last 24 hours. It‘s like being back with old friends. Well that‘s because they are. It‘s wonderful.
